Dark colour, low pH and high organic load characterize the distillery waste called as spent wash. If spent wash is disposed off in environment without proper treatment it poses threat to it. Out of available treatment options aerobic composting of spent wash is one of the best options. The by-products of sugar industry such as press mud and bagasse were used as filler materials. The experiments were carried out in plastic containers of 20-L capacity. The press mud and bagasse were mixed in 5:1 proportion. The spent wash was added to this mixture till the moisture content was approximately 70 %. The seeding was done with the help of Farm Yard Manure (FYM). The aeration was done manually by overturning the contents for 30 days at the interval of one day. The samples were analysed for temperature of composting mass, moisture content, organic carbon, nitrogen, pH, COD, chlorides and conductivity. Reloading of spent wash was done to maintain the moisture content. It was observed that the rate of reaction was higher at the initial stages of composting. The increase in temperature was observed at the initial stage, which went on decreasing as composting of the mass was completed.Keywords

Physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of textile processing effluent from Karnataka Processors Ltd. have been investigated. It has been observed that some of the waste streams are highly alkaline in nature (pH 8.7 to 10.9). Such waste streams also exhibit higher COD levels; 1300 mg/L from mercerization section and 1680 mg/L from desizing section. All the waste water streams possess higher TDS concentration ranging from 2000 to 6000 mg/L. BOD values were in the range of 135 to 900 mg/L, and alkalinity from 200 to 8000 mg/L. Highest possibilities of microbial counts on nutrient agar (NA) and potato dextrose agar (PDA) were observed in the water samples collected from general utilities. Combined waste and wastes from dyeing and desizing sections also indicate the presence of microflora on growth media. However, no microbes were observed in the waste samples from mercerizing and bleaching sections. When the study conducted on quantitative basis, it was observed that microbial count was maximum (2110 × 104 CFU/mL) in the sample plate of general utilities, which was reduced to minimum in the samples from other streams.- 'Use of Vegetable Wastes as a Filter Media'
